Office Decommissioning Guide: Steps to Follow & Liquidation Tips
Relocating your business? While exciting, it also involves the careful process of office decommissioning. This guide will walk you through the steps and offer advice on how to minimize hassle and liquidate leftover assets.
Understanding Your Lease & Decommissioning Responsibilities
Your lease agreement outlines the decommissioning requirements – the condition in which you must leave the office. Commonly, this includes:
- Removal of any data/voice cabling you installed
- Removal of non-original fixtures, furniture, and equipment (FFE)
- Thorough cleaning of all areas
- Repairs to restore the space to its original condition
- Removal of signage, e-waste, and other waste materials
Meet with your property manager to verify the exact terms and create a timeline to avoid costly penalties.
